"The terrorists were trying to shift the weapons and explosive materials to interior parts of Balochistan to carry out subversive activities," Wasy said, adding, "security forces conducted the raid on a tip-off."

No arrests were made as the terrorists fled from the spot.

Bomb disposal squad was also called in later to defuse the IEDs.

In August, the Coun­ter-Terrorism Department (CTD) clai­med to have foiled a terror bid and arrested two men allegedly working for Afghan intelligence.

The men were planning to bomb densely populated areas of the provincial capital in order to cause widespread destruction.

"No arrests were made as the terrorists fled from the spot" sum up all about the legitimacy of the incident.

Anything happens in India, India always vociferously blames it on Pakistan!
Pakistan should adopt a similar attitude knowing fully well India is behind stoking and arming terrorist activities in our motherland!
